In this study, a high-quality, chromosome-scale, haplotype-phased genome assembly of Satsuma mandarin (\u201cMiyagawa wase\u201d) was generated using PacBio HiFi sequencing, Omni-C scaffolding, and a trio binning strategy incorporating its parental genomes (Kishu mandarin (C. kinokuni) and Kunenbo mandarin (C. nobilis)). This approach enabled the complete separation of parental haplotypes. To obtain accurate gene models, we performed long-read transcriptome sequencing across eight tissues and developmental stages, producing comprehensive gene annotations for each haploid genome. Comparative genomic analyses of the two haplotypes revealed extensive structural divergence, multiple sequence polymorphisms, and large insertions\/deletions enriched for long terminal repeat retrotransposons. Whole-genome graph-based analysis and synteny comparisons further identified chromosome-specific patterns of sequence diversity, providing new insights into the evolutionary origins of Satsuma mandarin haplotypes. Transcriptome analyses uncovered widespread allele-specific gene expression and tissue-dependent regulatory divergence between the two parental haplotypes; notably, mature fruit tissue exhibited pronounced haplotype-biased transcription, suggesting differential contributions from Kishu- and Kunenbo-derived alleles during fruit maturation. Additionally, comparative genomic analyses of bud sport and nucellar embryony mutant lineages revealed haplotype-specific patterns of variation, providing insights into mutation accumulation during vegetative propagation and nucellar embryony in clonal citrus cultivars. This fully haplotype-phased genomic and transcriptomic resource, which has been implemented in MiGD2 (https:\/\/mikan.dna.naro.go.jp), provides a powerful foundation for genome-assisted breeding, identification of functional and lineage-specific alleles, and elucidation of mutation-derived variation in Japanese citrus cultivars.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/pcp\/pcag133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,2]],"date-time":"2026-10-02T11:44:41Z","timestamp":1790941481000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Haplotype-Phased Chromosome-Scale Genome Assemblies of Satsuma mandarin Uncover Structural and Transcriptional Divergence Between Parental Haplotypes and Structural Variations in Mutant Lineages"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Kawahara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Agriculture and Food Research Organization Advanced Analysis Center , Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8604 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9555-5054","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sachiko","family":"Isobe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kazusa DNA Research Institute, Kisarazu , Chiba 292-0818 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Fujii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioresource Sciences, Faculty 5 of Agriculture, Shizuoka University , Shizuoka, Shizuoka 422-8529 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7880-6221","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenta","family":"Shirasawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kazusa DNA Research Institute, Kisarazu , Chiba 292-0818 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yukinari","family":"Kiryu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioresource Sciences, Faculty 5 of Agriculture, Shizuoka University , Shizuoka, Shizuoka 422-8529 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomoaki","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Agriculture and Food Research Organization Institute of Fruit Tree and Tea Science , Tsukuba, Ibaragi 305-8605 ,","place":["Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yumiko","family":"Teramoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IMSBIO Co., Ltd.
